He helped drag the game into the modern era. RIP.

 

[Eeyore]

Good to see the network full of glowing tributes. Although I suspect Wearside may be a little muted !

 

[Official Old Man]

Sad. How do you explain to someone who watches MOTD who Jimmy Hill was. Bigger than anyone on there now I guess.

I played against Jimmy Hill many times at darts in The White Harte Cuckfield

Smashing bloke,

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Sad news but he has been suffering from Alzheimer's for a while now.

Horrible disease.

Yes indeed he has, I remember seeing him at Withdean several times, and obviously that was a few years ago now. Even then he was gripping his good mate Des's arm for support.

RIP Jimmy. Player, manager, and a football pundit who really was worth listening to.
